Belenenses hosts Portimonense in round 31 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Thursday, May 6th at Estádio Nacional do Jamor (Lisbon - Oeiras)
The upcoming match actually does not carry a decisive significance for both opponents, who are playing out the current championship in the lower part of the standings, away from unfulfilled European Cup hopes and the abyss of the relegation zone. In my opinion, the game may well break the low-scoring Portuguese stereotypes in view of its almost friendly nature. And the defense of Belenenses was certainly not reliable in the last games. For example, it became guilty of conceded goals from Sporting Lisbon (2-2), Gil Vicente (2-1), Boavista (0-2), Pacos de Ferreira (0-1), and so on, that is, everyone in a row. By the way, the Blues managed to keep only one clean sheet in the last six home games.

As for Portimonense, this club was surprisingly fruitful in the attack in recent matches. The Black-and-Whites upset the goalkeepers of modest Famalicao (1-0), Farense (1-0), and Vitoria (3-0), but they also managed to score against eminent Benfica (1-5) and Porto (1-2). Not so long ago, the dangerous attacking line of Portimonense made hay of the defense of the outsider Nacional in the away game, hammering it with a result of 5-1. In general, the men of the experienced mentor Paulo Sergio didn’t manage to score a goal in only one of the last eight rounds. You must agree that it is a good achievement for the modest Portimonense.
In my opinion, the agile attack of the visitors will again manage to upset the opponent’s goalkeeper for a small but solid coefficient. And finally, we can recall Portimonense also did not leave the green lawn without a goal scored in the first head-to-head match, beating Belenenses with a result of 1-0. There are enough prerequisites to wait for another goal scored by the Black-and-Whites.
Prediction for the match: Portimonense to score over 0.5 goals
